I finished my 4 week online art journal class this week at My Creative Classroom. This second journal features french stitching to bind the signatures.
I learned a few new techniques for my journal pages. My favorite would be the glue crackle, which makes interesting striations.
This type of stitching allows for the journal to lay absolutely flat. I intend to use it as a travel journal for my trip to Greece this fall.
I'll wait till I return to decorate the cover, as I'm sure there will be some wear involved as I use it.
Have you ever used a travel journal? Do you have any tips on things to include?

Oh this is fantastic, and I just love doing that glue technique to make crackles! I guess for me when I have done a travel journal it was more about writing everything that happened each day so I would not forget all the amazing details. So maybe some little notepad or line papers or maybe a stack of journal blocks (pre stamped) that could be easily attached.
